EPK – Bury The Past – Clarity (single) (2026)
Publicist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com
“Clarity was the first song we wrote together with the latest lineup. It introduced a new drumming style as Mat ”Fretch” Fréchette joined the band as their permanent drummer. It has a more Metalcore/Modern Metal sound. From fast-paced verses to slower and heavier sections, the single shows what we’re capable of.” – Mathieu Fréchette (Drummer) – Bury The Past

==============================
About The Single Artwork:
Simple yet effective DIY artwork for all of our tracks as of now. We brainstorm ideas using keywords from our lyrics and make something cool out of it.
About The Single: (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):
Clarity is where the band shifted directions a bit. It is a lot more aggressive both lyrically and musically. Although it does not define our genre at all. BTP does not have a ”limit”
==============================
1. Til Dubois was the original drummer for Bury the Past. He’s always been more of a guitarist than a drummer. 2 years later, the band got in touch with Fretch.2. If you ever hear us yell ”Tooteeth” , don’t worry about it. This is an inside joke between us related to Til’s cats. We take our music very seriously, but I’m not sure I can say the same about our everyday lives.3. We’re the 5 best friends with the same love and passion for music, even with our age gaps. From Charles and Kris being in their late 20’s, Fretch in his 30’s, Til’s almost 40, and Pat is turning 50.

Emerging from Gatineau, Quebec, Bury the Past is a five‑piece Metalcore/Post‑Hardcore band known for their heavy sound, emotional depth, and relentless drive to evolve. What began as guitarist Til Dubois’ long‑running solo project, Til Music, transformed into a full band when he recruited local musicians to bring his ideas to life. Two years later, the lineup reached its full potential with the arrival of drummer Mathieu “Fretch” Fréchette, a shift that would redefine the band’s musical direction and energy.
Despite spanning multiple generations, from members in their late 20s to nearly 50, Bury the Past operates as a tight‑knit family. Their chemistry is rooted in friendship, humor, and a shared passion for heavy music. (If you ever hear them yell “Tooteeth,” don’t worry, it’s an inside joke about Til’s cats.) Their bond offstage fuels their intensity onstage, creating a live experience built on precision, emotion, and raw power.
Bury the Past describes their sound in five words: Heavy, Catchy, Emotional, Evolving, Diverse.
Drawing influence from The Ghost Inside, August Burns Red, The Amity Affliction, Alexisonfire, and Parkway Drive, the band blends Metalcore, Modern Metal, and Post‑Hardcore into a style that is unmistakably their own. Their songwriting process is collaborative and fluid; every track is built together, always starting with the music before vocalist Charles Morin shapes the lyrical narrative.
Their lyrics explore everyday struggles, personal battles, and the emotional weight of being human. The result is music that hits hard both sonically and thematically.
The band’s evolution accelerated when Til returned to guitar, and Fretch stepped in as the permanent drummer. Both are multi‑instrumentalists, but this lineup shift allowed each member to settle into the role where they excel most. The result: a more modern, aggressive, and polished sound.
Their latest single, “Clarity,” marks the beginning of this new chapter. It was the first song written with the current lineup and showcases the band’s heavier side, fast‑paced verses, crushing breakdowns, and a refined modern metalcore edge. While “Clarity” is intense, it doesn’t define their limits. Bury the Past prides itself on having none.
With more music already written and waiting for the studio, the band promises that this is only the beginning.
Bury the Past’s live shows are defined by energy, tight musicianship, and authenticity. They don’t compare themselves to other bands; they simply aim to deliver the most powerful version of themselves every time they step onstage and pave the way as a rising force in the Quebec heavy music scene.
With a growing discography, a sharpened sound, and a lineup firing on all cylinders, Bury the Past are entering their strongest era yet. Their evolution is ongoing, their creativity is limitless, and their commitment to their craft is unwavering.
Bury the Past is more than a band; it’s a brotherhood, a creative force, and a testament to the power of heavy music to connect, heal, and evolve.
